The sound system may play sounds on them after their deletion - this resulted in undefined behavior. To ensure properly defined behavior the sprite needs to be retained at least as long as the sound controller may still need it - which cannot be reliably determined so it has to be kept around forever. This would be easier if the sound controller code had proper start and stop events instead of inferring what to do from secondary information.
Fixes#288.
After discovering yet another misbehaving place in the game I think it can be safely concluded that this is better left off unconditionally.
The only remaining place where this still gets checked is in nnexts, but I wouldn't expect this to work either.
Fixes#292
* Build skies need a different mesh for the dome - the one from GZDoom distorts them too much.
* made adjustment to the positioning math after redoing the mesh
* Exhumed abuses some strange effect of the original sky placement math which means the y-offsetting must be disabled for this game.
* RRRA sky initialization fixed. It must be done after setting up the tiles.
Since these do not fully get processed sequentially the contents need to be preserved until needed.
This required getting rid of the global tsprite array. Polymost still uses a static vatiable, though, but this is only accessed in polymost-exclusive code.
* Blood's automap was not drawn at all.
* SW's automap always showed all sectors
* SW's player sprite was not rendered.
* Non-automap: Forward gotsector to the game code because there's still a few places in Blood that need it.
* Doing this in `renderView()` unconditionally isn't correct as it can lead to a double adjustment if `p->spritebridge == 0 && p->newOwner == nullptr`.
This was by far the messiest game, there's two reasons for this.
First, the portal links do not need to be in an actual portal sector, so they cannot be used to detect portal sectors.
Second, the game moves portals in place, so all offsets are (0,0,0) so that not even these can be used for detection.
The only working method is the super-complicated original way to look up portals at run time, just being done at map start.
Having static portal links should reduce the render glitches quite significantly because the renderer knows now which sectors belong to a portal and can use this information to ensure proper processing.
Unlike the other games these are so poorly defined that the engine has to rely on the original fudging to pick the proper portal to link to. As a result they are just as limited as they always were.
In addition all the portal search code had to be reinstated.
Like for Blood, the Polymost-only code has been moved aside.
Closer examination of the preparations the engine is doing for rendering SE40/150-portals shows that all this was merely done to avoid glitches with a two-phase rendering setup - nothing of this will be needed for doing it properly.
They can just be treated as run-of-the-mill stacked sectors. when using hardware rendering capabilities for clipping.
New names are:
REDNECKxx.ogg for Redneck Rampage
REDNECKRIDESxx.ogg for RR Rides Again.
SHADOWxx.ogg for Shadow Warrior.
The motivation here is to allow copying all this music to a single folder or .zip file and reference it from all games.
Fix bug when switching to another weapon from the spray while firing with primary fire won't switch to the new weapon. And telling Caleb not to put away his lighter if the spray is being switched to TNT.
Do not put away lighter after TNT is thrown if while throwing the weapon was switched already to spray.
Do not put away lighter if TNT was selected while throwing a spray can.
Fix next/prev weapon
The duplicate 'currentSprite' variable prevented it from doing anything.
Also cleaned up the interface a bit to avoid using a global variable for parameter passing.
Fixes#279
This reverts commit 4fcec5f6d3.
Functionality wasn't working properly, most players will never use it and care only for 100% originality. Was a nice idea, though.

It is totally unclear what happened here in the original code, but the info apparently never reached the place where it's being checked. BloodGDX just ignores it so we do now, too.
Turned out that the status bar's DrawGraphic cannot handle it with its coordinate hackery, this needs a separate, cleaner interface function that does not mess around with the pivot which needs to be passed unaltered to the backend to properly rotate around it
Using the palette to apply fog is just far too broken and cannot be kept in check with all the hacks the Build engine allows.
This only works if all elements on screen use the identity translation lookup which is basically never the case.
Real fog, on the other hand, can easily be applied to everything.
This one is most prominently noticeable in WW2GI's first map where blowing up a crack has no effect.
This must have happened when removing all those dangerous pointer to long casts that were so popular back in the bad old days.
Fixes#266
The original tiles are all 15 pixels tall, but depending on the games can vary in their true height, so use CheckRealHeight on them to get their true dimensions.
Fixes#250
There is a typo in the CON files that assigns EVENT_AIMUP and EVENT_AIMDOWN the same number. The source did not replicate this which caused several events to call the wrong handler.
Fixes#252
An int can't store a float, effectively truncating to 0 and not holding the 0.5. Thanks MJ :) .
Partially addresses #262 - The Torch icon bouncing in the HUD still remains.
